PER CURIAM:
James A. Gardner appeals the district court’s order dismissing
his claim for damages regarding adjustments in his food stamps
benefits. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on
the reasoning of the district court. See Gardner v. Carter, No.
CA-98-1489-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 30, 1999). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
